ABSTRACT:
A computer-based method for providing the generation of schemas for output documents. An output schema representing a desired output condition of a document is created from inputs comprising a tree transformation rule defined by at least a pattern, a contextual condition, an input schema, and user specified parameters. A match-identifying tree automaton is created from the one pattern, the contextual condition, and the input schema; and the match-identifying tree automaton is modified with respect to said user specified parameters.
